When was the margarita invented?
While many claim to have crafted the maiden margarita, one of the more popular origin stories is about Carlos “Danny” Herrera. Herrera owned a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico (Rancho La Gloria), and is credited with inventing the margarita in 1938. Give us a time machine so we can sip that original marg.
